• Mix in 35g protein, raw cacao, maple syrup
• Make up black coffee using minimal water, add to the mixture and combine
• Roll mixture out and cut into 15 circles ( I shamelessly used the rim of a wine glass)
• Remove coconut balls from the freezer
• Wrap the date mixture around the coconut balls making sure there aren’t any holes/gaps in the mixture
• Repeat for all
• To coat- melt 3tbsp coconut oil and stir in 2tbsp cacao powder
• Either roll each ball in the liquid chocolate OR drizzle over the top

These are a delicious snack! What’s better is, you know EXACTLY what’s inside them!
